Welcome to Summer Reads Giveaway Hop! This event is organized by Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Rex Robot Reviews. There are approximately 200 participants and the event runs from July 6th until July 11th.
Summer is usually a season where I read lot of books. I think it has something to do with long and light days and short nights and it seems that there is somehow more time to read. I know that many people would disagree and say, that during the summer you meet friends, you barbecue, you go to summer events. Sure! I do that too... and still have time to read. :) Maybe it's the energy I get from the sunshine and daylight ( I have to mention here, that in Northern Europe the sun rises at 4AM and sets around 10PM - 11PM during summer), I don't know that for sure, but one thing I do know and that is the number of books what I have "consumed" from mid-June until today - 16 books. It's almost book per day.
The other anomaly I am experiencing during the summer is, that even though I read a lot, I am not that quick at reviewing them. I read it, finish it and take the next one. You see, I have time to read, but I am probably little lazier with writing reviews during the summer time - there is simply so much else to do! It's a question of prioritizing and clearly summer time does not have positive influence to reviewing. But is surely affects my reading!
Why am I telling you this? Because it has something to do with my giveaway. As I often tend to, I am challenging the participants during the giveaway!
What can you win this time?
There will be 2 winners this time who will each get a book from The Book Depository.
BUT...
You need to answer two of my questions while entering for the giveaway. Nothing complicated, easy questions for you to answer and fun for me to read!
That's almost it. Tweeting gives you an extra entry. Total of 3 entries only! Easy, right?!
Enter the Rafflecopter below!
Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteMy genre preference doesn't change in Summer. I read any genre I like, whenever I feel like it. It's the book that changes all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteI am not particular about the genre at any time of the year. My choices are mostly what is being released at the time or if I'm catching up on a series or book from my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI don't have 4 seasons here (Malaysia) so it just depends on what I'm in the mood for. Currently I'm into UF/paranormal books.
ReplyDeleteI don't really change what genres I read when summer comes around. I just read whatever is out at the time :)

Thanks for the giveaway! During the summer I love reading contemporary romances. I like it when a couple has to work through an issue to get together as long as they get their happy ending!
ReplyDeleteI don't change my reading patterns in the summer. I continue to keep reading a combination of several genres.
ReplyDeleteI love to read paranormal romance genre. I buy a lot this genre, so i want read all:)
ReplyDeleteI just read whatever books look most intriguing. :) I don't really change in genre according to the weather, so pretty much YA (contemporary, fantasy, dystopia) with the occasional adult fiction or nonfiction. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYA and Paranormal Romance. :] Thanks so much for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love contemporary books! :) Last two books I read were Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta and Onyx by Jennifer Armentrout. :)
ReplyDeleteUrban Fantasy is a favorite anytime, but I read a bit of everything. I love anything with a magic or special gifts element, adventure and action! Thanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I read Young Adult and romance any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteI love suspense and romance! I'm always reading one or the other!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a specific genre I read in the summer. But if I'm reading on the beach, I prefer something 'easy', simply because it's more difficult to concentrate on a book when there's a lot of noise around me.
ReplyDeleteI usually read paranormal or contemporary books in the summer. I like something that's fast paced so that it contrasts with lazy summer days. Thanks for the giveaway!

I like YAs and dystopians throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite genre to read during summer, but I love reading fast-paced books :)
ReplyDeleteYoung Adults or Contemporary Romance, maybe :)
ReplyDeleteI like to read mysteries, horror, high fantasy, and urban fantasy more than anything.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't enter on the Rafflecopter either on Internet explorer or Google Chrome. Hope that does not disqualify me!
ReplyDeleteFrom the answers maybe I can gauge the question! I like historical fiction, contemporary fiction, and some mystery/murder type of books.We don't have summer. probably summer all year around in my part of the world.
I love reading contemporary books simply because they are more speedy and easier to read, but I still read any genre.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the great giveaway and for making it international. I wrote my answers in the extra field in the rafflecopter form. I hope that's okay.
ReplyDeletei prefer to read YA books, there are more easier and faster to read sometimes
ReplyDeletethanks for making this international!
My genre preference doesn't really change during the summer, but I think I tend to lean more towards mysteries and thrillers during the summer (especially with a family, or contemporary element to them)...so that I'm fulfilled on both a character-based narrative, and so that it's fast-paced enough to keep me distracted from the sweltering heat! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for being part of the "Summer Reads Giveaway Hop" - for your generosity, may your days be warm & bright all year round. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity! :D

I'm not picky when it comes about books! I love reading every genre, mostly YA paranormal or contemporary books.
ReplyDeleteI like to read whatever, whenever. My current obsession is dystopian YA and paranormal YA.
ReplyDeleteI prefer science fiction, mostly classics and Star Trek books, because they're so optimistic and quite funny, because a lot of futuristic stuff imagined 50 years ago is so dated, and also things like cell phones and Internet haven't been thought about:)
ReplyDeleteI love to read mystery or romance...
ReplyDeleteFifty shades of grey and Someone tell Aunt Tillie she is dead..
ReplyDeleteparanormal romance
ReplyDeletePride and Pyramids, Archangel's Blade
ReplyDeleteI like reading light romance books and fiction during the summer. The lighter the better)
ReplyDeletei like reading a contemporer romance.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of genres, usually urban fantasy being my favorite. During the summer I tend to read some things that are more lighthearted, and read a little more YA & historical romance.
